FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283).

If someone has high levels of sugar in their body and they don't fix it they can get complications which include "diseases of the eyes, kidneys, blood vessels, and nerves"(Goodheart 10).

In the ancient times people with diabetes were described as "passing too much urine" (Goodheart 11).

Claude Bernard was the first man to discover that "sugar can be stored in the liver in a form called glycogen"(Goodheart 13).

Whenever you are in between meals your "blood sugar levels drop and the pancreas secretes less insulin"(Goodheart 27).

Glucose is very important to the body because you body is able to use it in "three different ways"(Goodheart 27).

FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

A common condition to diabetes is "prediabetes" which is when " the blood sugar level is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be considered diagnostic of diabetes".

Prediabetes "increases a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or stroke".

When you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes it "ultimately lead[s] to high blood sugar levels, a condition called hyperglycemia".

After a long time " hyperglycemia damages the retina of the eye, the blood vessels of the kidneys, the nerves, and other blood vessels".

There are many serious conditions when you have diabetes like "Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome" which is when " the blood sugar level gets very high".

FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

During pregnancy your body can produce " significant hormonal changes during pregnancy [that] can lead to blood sugar elevation in genetically predisposed individuals" which leads to gestational diabetes.

When someone has Type 1 diabetes "the pancreas undergoes an autoimmune attack by the body itself, and is rendered incapable of making insulin".

"In autoimmune diseases" like Type 1 diabetes "the immune system mistakenly manufactures antibodies and inflammatory cells that are directed against and cause damage to patients' own body tissues".

When someone has Type 2 diabetes "patients can still produce insulin, but do so relatively inadequately for their body's needs, particularly in the face of insulin resistance".

Type 2 diabetes "occurs mostly in individuals over 30 years old and the incidence increases with age".

FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

Not everyone that has diabetes has type 1 diabetes "Some people develop a type of diabetes – called secondary diabetes -- which is similar to type 1 diabetes, but the beta cells are not destroyed by the immune system but by some other factor".

Type 1 diabetes is caused when "the body's own immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas".

Whenever we eat sugary food with glucose " the pancreas release[s] insulin".

When there is an excess of sugar " in the blood can cause an increase in urination".

When you lose too much sugar during urination " a loss of calories which provide energy and therefore many people with high sugars lose weight".

Senior Project Proposal

Proposed Topic in the form of an Essential Question:

Is Diabetes caused by unhealthy eating or is it hereditary?

Rationale for Choice

What about this topic appeals to you? Why did you choose it?

This topic appeals to me because I find it interesting that there are many different forms of diabetes all caused by different things. I chose it because I want to learn more about this subject as well as inform people if they could possibly get diabetes in the future.

What do you already know about this subject?

I know that there are three types of diabetes. One of which you can develop during pregnancy.

 

What are you hoping to learn about the subject?

I am hoping to learn more about how you can prevent your self from developing diabetes during pregnancy.

What are you most interested in regarding the topic?

I am interesting in how many people currently have diabetes and what ethnicities are more likely to have diabetes.

What potential risks or challenges do you foresee for your project?

I forsee that challege that I might end up procrastinating on my project but I will try my hardest not to.

i believe

1.       I believe men and women should be treated as equals when they have the same jobs.

2.       I believe teachers should be more fun when they teach (like Ms. Grandchamp)

3.       I believe every child should get a cell phone when they’re in 5^th grade and no sooner.

4.       I believe seniors in high school should be able to do whatever they want.

5.       I believe our school needs to lighten up on every policy they have.

4. When teenagers reach their last year of high school they would like to slack off some and do what they want at times. After 12 years of schooling we would like to slack of one year before we go into the real world and become adults. It’s our last year of being kids and we would like to enjoy it. Many people drop out of school during their senior year because it’s so hard, if we were able to slack off some there would be a higher graduation rate nationwide because more people would be willing to finish school if there was a year of relaxing waiting for them their senior year.
